My point was that Perch's take about "the office" is stupid because Ellis wasn't being a creep in a professional space. He wasn't hanging out in the Marvel bullpen propositioning interns and jerking off in a cubicle. Yes, Ellis' own hypocritical standards dictate that he be run out of comics forever with no hope of redemption but to pretend it's because he broke some workplace taboo is just silly. He'd constructed a virtual sex compound for his various fluffers and sycophants to gather and lick his e-peen and he took full advantage of it like any musician would a bunch of groupies.
Exactly. When Perch says he takes "the middle position", he means he wants to continue posturing that he's 'against cancel culture' while also saying that 'what happened to Warren Ellis wasn't cancel culture', allowing the comic creators that he regularly beams about being in DMs or meeting in person with like some puffed up Leroi to therefore not be complicit in said cancel culture. And if you point out the obvious flaws in Perch's self-serving argument by bringing up basic facts, like that Ellis was a (comic) celebrity banging (fat comic) groupies and not an employee of anything like Perch argues, that the equivalent of a celebrity rapper or musician being the target of a campaign to blacklist them from ever playing at a venue or distributing their music ever again is absurd on the face of it, he starts to cry about how unnamed people are trying to "force him to take a side" and that "the only side I'm on is comics" and other such bullshit.
None of this has to do with Warren Ellis being a cancel culture piece of shit himself who deserved what happened to him, which he is and he does, reaping what he sowed like so much to a grainy 240p webcam from the early 2000s.
His advice is valid though, despite him being able to work around it.
Building your own platform is extremely valid advice, I agree. But Jon Malin is throwing out "sounds like a lot of people out there not building their platform, grab an oar" in response to people complaining that the Comicsgate cause isn't really driving up subscriber counts like it used to, which is rich coming from someone who himself after 5 years
is not able to approach Captain Cummings' subscribers and launches his campaigns on other people's channels.
We may be stuck with mostly bore-fest ComicsGate Kings
The slowly brewing Manichean battle for the soul of the Punisher between the character's two creators, Gerry Conway and Mike Baron, that is playing out on Frog's show is steadily getting more entertaining.
Conway, an old self-described "passionate libtard" here accompanied with a twitter profile picture of himself being vaccinated, is almost a walking caricature of the much lampooned "SJW comic creator" archetype. He regularly expresses his horror that the hated police ("the oppressors") have appropriated the Punisher skull emblem and,
after a failed attempt to rebrand it as the Punisher LGTBQ/BLM skull, has endorsed Marvel's
recent removal and replacement of the emblem entirely.
Standing in diametric, equally extreme opposition to this change is the Punisher's
other creator, Mike Baron. And while Baron did not co-create the character with Conway in 1978 (which Baron describes as 'originally a shallow rip off of [Mike Bolan's] Executioner series'), he did write what is widely regarded as the definitive run on the character; the template that all following stories about the character would be based upon. Baron is unabashedly pro-cop,
is making a comic about the story of police struggling to uphold order during the 2020 race riots, and takes the use of the skull symbol by law enforcement
and military personnel as a point of personal pride.
While on Frog's show, Mike Baron has been making hints about his upcoming comic
Private America, a sort of synthesis of Captain America, the Punisher and 'American Sniper' Chris Kyle, waging a one-man war on border crime and Mexican cartels, the premise of which makes Frog visibly nervous every time he thinks about it for more than ten seconds.
Where will it go from here? Who knows. But it's definitely more interesting than most of what's going on in Comicsgate in this fallow season.
but you want to read their comics, if they ever come out...
